Springfield Opening Day 2012
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012Well, we’ve been going to the Springfield Farmers market for 7 years. Our first day popping anywhere was in Springfield on June 14, 2006. If you read that blog entry, you’ll notice we were worried that we would be able to sell anything! For the longest time we were next to a church on a very busy street. It was a great spot that had a ton of traffic, since then we’ve moved inside a forested park next to a hockey rink. The crowds haven’t been the same and on a rainy day like today, we really take a hit. It’s nice that we had some regulars show up and were excited that we were popping again.
Springfield is pretty far from my new Buzzards Bay house. It’s a 2 and a half hour drive so I’m not sure how long I can show up on a weekly basis. The good news is Steve is getting the money together for his own kettle. He’ll be running “Velma’s West” and I’ll be doing “Velma’s South”. He lives just two streets away from the market and he certainly doesn’t want to lose the income. I’ve got a video editing job for a big insurance company coming up in the middle of May. They’ll be sending me to Maui for 2 weeks on their nickel, so I won’t be able to move to the new digs until the beginning of June. I may post some weird videos from Maui on this blog just for the heck of it.
